Ahoy!! I be new to this forum now, although I was on years ago. I be known to Captain Teague, however. Here is the website for the festival. It will be June 9-10 2012. gulfcoastpiratefestival.com. It is very much ready to go, with skirmishes, pirate raids, awesome pirate bands, wenches, even (friendly?) mermaids. Please join us on the sunny Gulf Coast!!
